Sermon Outline

1. Introducing Solomon’s sin

  • His drift into idolatry

  • Young Solomon wouldn’t have dreamed of following other gods

  • How he started with other gods

2. God became angry with Solomon

3. God’s discipline of Solomon

  • Discipline via Hadad of Edom

  • Discipline via Rezon of Aram

  • Discipline via Jeroboam

4. Lessons

  • Drifting is deceitful because it happens gradually

  • Drifting has a domino effect

  • It matters who we are close to

  • Where there is repentance, mercy trumps sin and discipline

Benediction

Jude 24-25: To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy — to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
